Not even these monks could resist the call of the mall.

Monks’ day out. Seen them at Aeon Mall last week.

Weekend window-shopping over the weekend and this yellow motorbike (and the tiny yellow sign in the background) caught my attention.

A lot of motorcyle bikes for sale along Sihanouk Boulevard.

Lucky to be in the right place at the right time, with my trusty point-and-shoot digicam 🙂

No, it’s not Superman. Just an airplane flying over residential buildings in Camko City in Phnom Penh.

Signs, signs: Chocolate Shop

Last week, I was planning to go to Daiso Japanese shop at Aeon Mall to buy bottles of calligraphy ink when my husband said he was going with me. I was surprised, of course, but pleasantly surprised. He seldom goes to the mall with me so this should be fun, I thought.

It was actually a quiet mall when we arrived. There were not many shoppers. After getting my ink and several more miscellaneous stuff, we bought sugar-free chocolates from this shop:

The Chocolate Shop at Aeon Mall.

The Chocolate shop is owned by Belgian expats who have lived in Cambodia for more than a decade now. I actually enjoyed going to their shop at St. 240 where they also have sandwiches, pies and smoothies. Their chocolate selection are varied, and they recently introduced Cambodian flavours infused to their chocolates, one of which is, the most popular, their signature Kampot pepper chocolate.

Wordless Wednesday: Balloon

I was riding on a motorbike with my husband traversing France St. when I took this photo. It is for this kind of moments I am thankful for my compact point-and-shoot digi-cam. It’s always in my pocket, ready for action.

Giant balloon.

It is not often I see a giant balloon, strapped to a passenger on a back of a motorcycle, traversing the city but it is not uncommon. I bet most of you wouldn’t have or get this kind of scene in your part of the world.
